The C.L.O.D of the day goes to: Damian Jr. Gong Marley ‘Welcome To Jamrock’.
Similar to his dad Bob Marley, Damian Marley music speaks about the social and political woo’s that highly impacts the urban ghetto’s of the world. The violence increase in the ghetto’s truly saddens me, especially when the youths committing are as young as 10 and 11 and in some countries as little as 7 and 8.
In this record Damian Marley paints the picture so well. Here’s one of my favorite excerpts of the song.
Welcome to Jam down, poor people ah dead at random
Political violence, can’t done, pure ghost and phantom
The youth dem get blind by stardom
Now the kings of kings ah call
Old man to Pickney, so wave unnuh hand if you with me
To see the sufferation sick me
Dem suit no fit me, to win election dem trick we
Then dem don’t do nuttin’ at all
C’mon let’s face it, a ghetto education’s basic
And most ah de youths them waste it
And when dem waste it, that’s when dem take the guns replace it
Then dem don’t stand a chance at all
